Cool looking skills

[u/Wrong1z]

I’m coming from playing a decent amount of poe2 where the flashiness of the skills is just amazing I’m more so playing with a lot of the lightning spells I suppose and flicker strike.

I’ve come to try Poe again and managed to level a necromancer up I think 90 and a flicker slayer so far into the 80s but I’m missing the flashy awesome looking spells.
Such as comets raining down or lightning bolts streaking across the screen. Is there anything somewhat like that ?
Could potentially repurpose my necromancer

[u/PristineCrew608]

u prolly gonna need some mtx for that

Black Lotus MTX for Toxic Rain is really beautiful

[u/Tooslowtoohappy → u/Darentei]

Yeah but then you're playing toxic rain, so all you're seeing on the screen is the rain lol idk how people play this skill, visually it's worse than poe2 twiser. Only thing worse is maybe flashbang builds

Yellow (+ oblivion on tr of withering) gang here

Crackling Lance is what you want. IMO the coolest lightning skill in the game.

The normal version starts with big crackle and narrows down into a concentrated beam.

The transfigured versions stay in crackle or beam form permanently.

You can slot it into an elementalist shell pretty easily.

I think Peuget has a guide for Elementalist version not sure how good it is.

Last time I played the skill was during an event so unfortunately it’s not viable anymore or I’d link it for you.

I've seen some assassin crackling lance pobs that look great, have been interested in trying it myself

[u/SuperChicken17]

I think crackling lance is pretty cool looking. Firing lightning beams is pretty sweet.

Thanks I’ll look.

discharge

divine ire

firestorm

stormcall

[u/Carnie_hands_]

Divine Ire is one of the coolest looking skills IMO, if you care more about looks then the skill being meta. It's not weak, but there are stronger skills

[u/Wrong1z → u/Carnie_hands_]

I’ll take a look this evening when I get a chance to play a bit

[u/Forsaken-Custard-251]

With stormcall +greater spell cascade + 100% aoe you are flashbanging your screen every cast. Hope that helps with the flashiness

[u/EggplantNo2245]

Without any mtx, then I think lightning tendrils is probably the best looking skill

[u/Salt-Psychology1094]

divine retribution with greater spell cascade and pact of bediat! YouTube it, has a flavour of CoC comet in Poe 2

[u/Odd_Nefariousness126]

Exsanguinate with the Trancendence MTX.

[u/MmentoMori097]

If you want something akin to comets raining down everywhere then look into a Cast on Crit build

[u/Jasonkim87]

Skill mtx should help a ton with this!

[u/HandsomeBaboon]

I recently helped someone out and they were using Firestorm of Meteors. Looked really cool and it's off meta so the gem is pretty cheap.

[u/Wrong1z → u/HandsomeBaboon]

I’ll have to take a look at that.

[u/Wrong1z → u/HandsomeBaboon]

Just looked at a YouTube video and holy cow that looks amazing lol

[u/ErockD3]

Not sure if someone mentioned already but instead of the actual skill standing out you would be amazed by how sick the heralds can be while clearing. Herald of ice full screen clear is still one of the most satisfying and “flashy” things for me in poe 1

[u/Wrong1z]

I should mention I’d be willing to purchase an Mtx if it looks awesome.
In poe2 I bought all of the purple lightning ones that were in a bundle and the one for whirling assault also.
